HappyDays Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 I did not expect this. Vegas thinks Allen is the most likely rookie QB to start 10+ games this year. These odds are begging people to take the under on Allen which is a sign they know something. 1 1
26CornerBlitz Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 The Allen number is a reflection of McCarron and Peterman as his competition.
benderbender Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) It would HAVE to be for this season because any season after, they wouldn’t be rookies. Still pretty brazen considering AJ’s national champion OC is the current OC. AJ will probably have a considerable leash. Especially since everyone’s plan is to sit Allen.

OldTimer1960 Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 I understand this is a betting proposition, but for us Bills fans the Allen selection is a long term investment. It is not the first season we should be concerned with, but rather how he does long term. I don’t care if he doesn’t start a game all season, but I do care if he is the answer at QB for the 10 years thereafter (or isn’t the answer).
Chandler#81 Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 I won’t argue the disparity in natural talent, but Josh has an awful lot of learning to do -including better footwork. I don’t want to see him ‘thrown to the wolves’ and I don’t think ‘McBeane’ does either. Maybe 5 games near the end of the season..
HansLanda Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Give me the under. They are going to bring him on real slow.

Aussie Joe Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Yep... way under for me... Some one mentioned a couple of days ago that you bench him until the Bye in Week 11... Play him the last 5 games if they are out of the running...

These odds are begging people to take the under on Allen which is a sign they know something. I would say there is a very good chance he beats the over. I've said before he is going to look very good in training camp and preseason next to the other guys. Even if they hold him out Week 1, he'll be in shortly thereafter.
BuffaloBillyG Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Give me the over on Jackson all day. Just has to start 1 game...even week 17 when they want to take a look at him. 1
DCOrange Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 This is the very same order I ranked them in terms of likelihood to start this year.

If that were the case the number would be higher. The number is likely set with Allen taking over as the starter after the season begins. Seems high to me as I think McCarron will start at least halfway into the season if not longer.

NewEra Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 I wouldn’t start allen til the Colts game at the earliest
